@Heavyarms55 Check out the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, Welfare website. As of this posting, 25,456 people in Japan have been tested. This means 200 test per million people in Japan (pop. 127m). South Korea has tested 196,618 people (source: South Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare, last update Mar. 9), which translates to 3,840 tests per million people (pop. 51.2m). According to the WHO report titled "Report of the WHO-China Joint Mission on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)," Guangdong, China tested 320,000 by the end of February, which translates to 2,820 tests per million people (pop. 113.5m).
Nobody knows how fast coronavirus is spreading and how many people are infected. The only way to better understand this is more testing. South Korea and other countries may have more cases simply because they've done more testing. Japan has had over a month to ramp up testing; there's no reason they should be so far behind South Korea and China.
For those curious, the United States has tested 42 per million people (as of March 12; 13,624 tested; pop. 320,000,000; source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
@Entrr_username There's a serious lack of testing in Japan, especially compared to South Korea (which ramped up testing faster and at greater scale than Japan). Many Japanese people probably have COVID-19 but we'll never know.
The Japanese use similar straps with cell phones while riding in trains. During rush hour passengers often have to move at a moment's notice and don't have time to continuously pocket their devices, hence the next strap. I imagine this product serves a similar purpose.
Other sports have stalling penalties to discourage this. I'm not an e-sports enthusiast nor expert, but situations like this were fixed in other sports long ago.

Re: Hands On: Dipping Into Island Life In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
I hope Nintendo puts some Animal Crossing's-type gameplay in Breath of the Wild 2. I really want to live in Hyrule.
